Liverpool v Maccabi Haifa
Lille v Debrecen/Rabotnicki Kometal
Home ties on August 8/9, away ties 22/23.
Liverpool being drawn against Maccabi Haifa has me slightly concerned, the fact that Uefa are seriously considering playing the game in Tel Aviv has me more so (Hoping they'd relocate the away tie to Cyprus for instance). Uefa are apparently writing to the Israel FA for written assurances regarding safety etc. Oh well, in that case...
EDIT: Cyprus is being used for evacuees at the moment isn't it? Questions marks there then as well maybe, just seems strange in the current climate all of this anyway.

The draw of the Champions League group stage just finished:
And yet another two Barça - Chelsea games...
They'll be exciting no doubt, can we call it a rivalry now?
Another Barca-Chelsea game? That's fine by me.
The Man U / Celtic game will be a cracker!
Uh oh.....Liverpool/Galatasaray. Could be crowd trouble there.

I think we can. The whole thing is becoming a routine

.
Group A is the toughest one I think - 3 very good clubs, we are going to have good balanced games. Group D is the one with weaker clubs, but still in the balance.
